You can create an anonymous link and multiple users can download it, but you will be the only seeder, unlike with torrenting. With torrenting, you can download bits and pieces of a file from multiple people, as I mentioned — these people are called seeders.
With OnionShare, sharing is temporary. As soon as you close your computer everything is erased and no trace remains. What Tor is good for is for browsing pirated content if you are worried about privacy. Since it hides your IP address, nobody will be able to trace such web activity back to you. Nonetheless, Tor is known to be incredibly slow when it comes to downloading stuff, just because of the way it works.
Downloading large files can place a huge burden on the Tor network, so the community encourages users not to do so. Torrenting is pretty safe if you know what you are doing. There are two main risks people worry about when torrenting. The first is being tracked. Depending on where you live, you may not want anyone to be able to find out that you have been torrenting.
The second major risk is downloading malware or a virus. There are many torrenting sites, and since they often violate copyright regulations, some of them are kind of sketchy. The last thing you want is to download malware or a virus from an unknown torrent site. After all, thousands of people look for torrented movies. The more popular movies have an even greater chance of containing malware — in fact, Game of Thrones torrents were most likely to contain malware, according to a study.

Many browser VPNs only protect the traffic routed through the browser, not things you do on other applications. VPNs do a lot more than hide your identity by giving you a different IP address. Many VPNs come with anti-malware protections; some have firewalls or block phishing attempts.
While there are many free VPNs out there, I recommend a premium one for torrenting, as the free ones are sometimes slow and may have usage restrictions. That means that they do not collect or log any type of data that might be traced back to you. While a website owner might not see your real IP address, the government could theoretically force the VPN company to hand over data it has on users.
It is also crucial to use the right torrent sites. There are many famous torrent sites, like The Pirate Bay and x, that you can use. Some torrent sites require a membership, and they tend to be safer. However, never download a link from an unknown, suspicious torrent site. You also need to look at what you are torrenting to see whether it seems legit. Look at how many people have torrented that file and what they are saying in the comments.
